Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

Dragon Swamp

Szec arrived at the swampy place guided by the boy he saved. He also told the boy to come back. Soon there will be a fight and Szes can feel it. He cannot carry the burden of a fight that does not know what kind of enemy he will face. For sure he did not want to harm others, especially if that person was a person he knew.

Stepping into the swamp, the moist soil made his feet sink slightly. But that's not the problem. Mom long after he entered the swamp area, the tendrils from the trees grabbed him.

*glash!* *slash!* *slash!*

Szec instantly created a wind katana and slashed the tendrils that whipped him. In a split second the line was immediately cut into small pieces. But even so, the small pieces of the tendrils were still writhing.

"It seems the enemy is much more difficult. The Fi in this swamp he would be able to attack from all angles. It won't be like my previous fight" murmured Szes.

With an indifferent face Szes continued his journey in the swamp. After a very early welcome he still hasn't got the next wave. Not that he was relaxing because of this. Instead, he became more alert. This place is still the territory of the opponent and the enemy can attack from anywhere. One mistake, then life. Szec also has a weak raw strength ignoring all the magical abilities he possesses. His strength was more or less the same or slightly higher than that of an ordinary human.

Szec walking on the edge of the swamp. He still carries a wind katana in his right hand, then ….

*Schuck!*

Something jumped from the water and headed straight for Szes. Turning around, the woman saw a giant frog jumping at her. Without hesitation Szec swung his katana towards the giant frog. But this attack did not succeed in injuring the frog. All the wind that surrounds the Szesic katana seems to be neutralized by the flexible skin of the frog.

*set!*

The frog stuck its long tongue out of its mouth. But before the attack was successful hit Szec ….

*bzzttt!*

Szec turned his wind katana into a lightning sword blade. The reddish-colored lightning spread throughout the wet body of the frog. As a result, the creature that had just come out of the swamp died with charred wounds all over his body.

Did the waves stop there this time?

Of course not. Having just completed his attack, the tendrils again invaded him from behind his back. Szec reflexively turned around and slashed at the tendrils using that lightning sword. As if ineffective, the lightning in the Szec sword spread throughout the tendrils. It takes a long time to make a squishy tendril. Even in that time lag one of the tendrils managed to land an attack on Szec.

"Sad…." This made Szees feel annoyed. One such attack left a scar of blood on his cheek. "Damn it!"

*Zzzrrttt!*

Szec transformed the lightning sword into a wind katana. Wind blades appeared and cut all the tendrils in an instant. But baby, when he does this ….

*Hack!*

Several giant frogs emerged from the swamp and swung their tongues at Szec.

Szec tried to cut off that whip-like tongue. But every time the katana approached the tongue, the tongue of the frog wriggled in the air like a cloth blown by the wind. They're not cut.

*sit….*

After being trapped in an inverted state, the tendrils and tongue of the frog lunged at him simultaneously. As they get closer to Szees ….

*boommm!*

A huge fire explosion exploded with Sze's body as its source. The blasts of fire violated everything around him and reduced them to ashes.

Szec bersalto and repositioned his body when landing on the ground. 'If I use the lightning element the tendrils will strike me, and if I use the wind element the frogs will whip using their tongues. Very inconvenient! Are they looking for my weakness?'

The area around was scorched due to the fire explosion. The rest of Szees is in the middle of the crater. His eyes glanced to the right-left, front-back. Shortly after, the roots of the wood grew and tried to catch Szes' feet. Almost got. Szinc jumped into the air. He shot a fireball in the air. Explosions hit the roots of the wood, but they flinch over this.

'I guessed. There's a counter for the element I used.'

Those roots darted at Szes. Almost there, Szec uses the wind element to propel himself higher up in the air. Above, it shoots lightning projectiles at the roots. The lightning strike did not cause any significant impact. If anything, it's a little charred.

'What! He's immune to lightning? Two elements immunity!?'

The more roots branched the more they approached the Szec that was still in the air. When spaced only tens of centimeters apart, the roots break themselves into smaller branches. They change the pattern by forming a ball that Szesic is in the root ball. On the other hand, Szec turned his weapon into a wind katana. He slashed in a 360° angle and split the two root balls. Then he blew up the wind that blew himself away.

He landed on one of the branches of the tree, but this did not make him at all relieved. The green tendril squirmed and caught his leg. After one tendril did that, the other tendrils docked and wrapped around Szees' body. The woman swung the katana and cut off all the tendrils. But this is still not enough. The longer, the more and the faster the tendrils wrapped around his body. Even tree branches moved following the tendrils.

"Shoggoth…."

"sure…. You can always use my powers…."

*boommm!*

The huge explosion occurred with a combination of wind, fire, dust, and lightning spreading with Szes' body as its center. The huge explosion formed a crater and removed everything around it. The ground was scorched down and not a single plant was visible within a radius of a dozen meters. The crater has a depth of about 3 meters.

"Enough! Come out and face me if you dare!" pekik Szes.

*rumble!* *rumble!* *rumble!*

Suddenly the ground and sky rumbled. Sze's hunch made him reflexively jump up. He used the wind element to hold himself in the air. Seen underground began to crack. Rocks break, trees fall, and trees move to tie each other. Continuously tying each other, they formed a single colossal figure.

"Kroooaaarrrrr!" so loud was the voice that the figure shouted. The size is no joke either.

Its enormous body covered the forest, made of hard wood. It was all green like a leaf. The entire shape of the penther is similar to that of Liopleurodon. The difference is, the neck is longer so it can be lifted. His eyes were red as a pomegranate, on top of which a series of smaller roots resembled a crown. Besides being creepy, he also shows the impression of being the "Spirit of the Forest". He is certainly not a good spirit.

"Well…." Szecot laughed dryly. "So... this is the creature that lives here…?"
